Jury duty

dontworrybehappy

HI

I have been asked to do jury duty and I really really cannot do it. I have sent the form back asking to be excused. I was diagnosed late in life 2 years ago. I just hope they do excuse me as I am anxious now waiting to see if they get back. 

Does anyone have any experience of how this works. Do you think having aspergers will be a good enough reason to be excused. I realise we are all different and some would love the opportunity but I am not one. 

Thanks in advance for any input.

  • I also forgot to add, you are allowed to put it off once and only once. When you do that, you have to select a time within the next 12 months to move it to, you are also allowed to change which court you attend. I originally got called for Crown Court in Bristol (which turned out to be a murder case that made national news and also lasted 6 months). I am so grateful that I didn't end up on that one.

    I put it off and moved it to the Crown Court in Lincoln, a year later.
